Abstract

TOMAZ, José Batista Cisne  and  VAN DER MOLEN, Henk T.. Compreendendo os profissionais de saúde da família como potenciais estudantes na educação à distância. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2011, vol.35, n.02, pp.201-208. ISSN 1981-5271.

This paper reports the main findings of a cross-sectional survey in the State of Ceará, Brazil, aiming to assess the acceptability of a distance education (DE) course among health professionals working in the Family Health Program, a new strategy to provide primary care to the Brazilian population. A total of 255 questionnaires were sent to potential subjects, with a response rate of 81.9%. Most respondents expressed positive perceptions and attitudes towards DE and were motivated to participate in a DE course. A list of recommendations was produced to help DE course planners.

Keywords : Education Distance; Education Continuing; Family Health.
